For a hanging flexible flap having a top and bottom end for reminding a driver, upon exiting, of the vehicle's occupancy for a vehicle having a driver-side door handle including a lever operable for opening the door, deployment, proceeding from a pre-deployment state in which the flap is in a folded-up configuration such that the bottom end is releasably attached to a second interior-side location vertically above a first interior-side location to which the flap is attached and both locations are vertically above the lever and jointly high enough that the flap does not cover the lever along at least most of the lever's length, includes undoing the releasable attachment; and unfolding the flap, or letting it fall, to hang down covering the lever along at least most of the lever's length. Alternatively, pre-deployment may be in a spring-biased rolled-up configuration, with the flap unrollable down to cover the lever.

A surrounding circumstance monitoring apparatus (3) has a housing (31) forming a housing space (31s) therein; and a monitoring unit (32) in the hosing space that monitors a surrounding circumstance of a vehicle, the housing has two housing parts (311, 312) that are bonded to each other via flanges (311f, 312f), a first flange part (311f1, 312f1) protruding upwardly from an upper surface (31U) of the housing is inclined with respect to the upper surface and/or a second flange part (312f2, 312f2) protruding downwardly from a bottom surface (31L) of the housing is inclined with respect to the bottom surface.

A stowable computer workstation (SCW) for a workplace within a vehicle is described, where the workplace has an inner sidewall of the vehicle. The SCW may include a video display mount assembly and a deployment support attached to the video display mount assembly. The deployment support is configured to deploy and stow the video display mount assembly against the inner sidewall and the deployment support is secured to the inner sidewall.

An apparatus includes a mounting bracket configured to mount to an outer surface of a body panel of a vehicle, a latch mechanism coupled to the mounting bracket, and an elongate member detachable from the mounting bracket and insertable into the opening. The elongate member comprises a body and a handle comprising a rod having a diameter smaller than the opening to allow the elongate member to be inserted into and removed from the opening; a handle comprising a coupling mechanism configured to engage with the latch mechanism so that the elongate member can be secured to the mounting bracket such that, when secured, at least a portion of the body of the elongate member is positioned within an inside cavity of the body panel; and a detachable coupling mechanism configured to detachably engage with one or more tool ends.

A controller assembly is mounted on a side wall surface extending in an upward/downward direction of a hydraulic excavator. The controller assembly includes a controller main body, a first bracket, a second bracket, and a vibration suppressing member. The first bracket is mounted on the side wall surface described above. The second bracket is fixed to the controller main body. The vibration suppressing member supports the first bracket at one end in the upward/downward direction, and supports the second bracket at the other end in the upward/downward direction so as to be movable with respect to the first bracket.

A crash-ready, portable, item compartmentalization device (100) includes a shell (300) which includes a first half shell (105) and a second half shell (205). The first half shell (105) and the second half shell (205) have substantially similar dimensions and define an interior space (710) and an exterior space (715). One or more pouches (900) are removably coupled to the shell (300) in the interior space (710). The crash-ready, portable, item compartmentalization device (100) may be relocated throughout the interior of an emergency vehicle when used with an equipment mounting system or taken to the field for use away from the emergency vehicle. The individual pouches (900) may also be removed and replaced with stocked pouches to replenish the crash-ready, portable, item compartmentalization device (100).

A magnetic pouch attachment mechanism includes one or more magnetic pouch mounts (500) having an alignment plate (505) with one or more magnetic areas (520) disposed within the alignment plate (505). The magnetic pouch mount (500) also includes a pouch (900) removably coupled with the one or more magnetic pouch mounts (500) such that when the pouch (900) is placed in proximity to the one or more magnetic pouch mounts (500), an attractive magnetic force is exerted between the pouch (900) and the one or more magnetic pouch mounts (500) such that the pouch (900) aligns with and couples to the one or more magnetic pouch mounts (500). A mounting bracket (920) coupled to the pouch (900) includes one or more bracket magnetic areas (935) disposed within the mounting bracket (920) and configured to induce an attractive magnetic force with the one or more magnetic areas (520).

An apparatus includes a mounting bracket configured to mount to an outer surface of a body panel of a vehicle, a latch mechanism coupled to the mounting bracket, and an elongate member detachable from the mounting bracket and insertable into the opening. The elongate member comprises a body and a handle comprising a rod having a diameter smaller than the opening to allow the elongate member to be inserted into and removed from the opening; a handle comprising a coupling mechanism configured to engage with the latch mechanism so that the elongate member can be secured to the mounting bracket such that, when secured, at least a portion of the body of the elongate member is positioned within an inside cavity of the body panel; and a detachable coupling mechanism configured to detachably engage with one or more tool ends.

A controller assembly is mounted on a side wall surface extending in an upward/downward direction of a hydraulic excavator. The controller assembly includes a controller main body, a first bracket, a second bracket, and a vibration suppressing member. The first bracket is mounted on the side wall surface described above. The second bracket is fixed to the controller main body. The vibration suppressing member supports the first bracket at one end in the upward/downward direction, and supports the second bracket at the other end in the upward/downward direction so as to be movable with respect to the first bracket.

A carrier element is configured to securely store a foldable wheelchair that is mountable in an ambulette or other vehicle without interfering with passenger space in the vehicle.
